If a red flag is raised for you then perhaps your mind is in the wrong place. You may be uniformed about the needs of youth who reach 18 without a home, or you are out of touch with reality, or both.

Please post the facts behind your posting - I do not find that the greatest need concerning adoptions is ADOPTIVE HOMES for "youth" 19 and over. Remember - we are talking ADOPTION, not about finding places for "youth" to live.

You are busy criticizing everyone for everything so I will offer this suggestion. Spell check.

Otherwise, let us know if/when/how you are able to adopt a youth over 18, which resources you use, what questions you are asked.

Poster is not wanting real help. They will not explain the issues, to be honest wanting to "adopt" a younger adult does sound creepy and more like something that has a unhealthly over turned,

You don't adopt to provide a home for other young adults, you can merely take them in, In fact if they are over 18 they are not in the social services program anyway, they are older and out of it.

I feel this person is either a troll or worst someone with unhealthy ideas for young people.
I am closing this thread.
